Electrolytic pickling: H electro- lytic pickling has many more advan- tages than HCl fumeless pickling, being faster and less hazardous, as the fumes are less aggressive and sulphuric acid is safer to handle Electro-plating with insoluble anodes: • zinc is carried by the plating solution and dissolved in a separate tank. There is no need for zinc anodes that require continuous replacement because the zinc pellets are dropped into the dissolving station, maintaining con- stant concentration of the plating solution • 2 SO 4

Gauder Group manufactures a compre- hensive range of bunchers, stranders and cablers, including the Pourtier high and extra high voltage cable machines and Setic Lan cable equipment.

FWWD’s matched elongation die sets ▲ ▲

“It’s really cost effective from more than just the standpoint of extending die life through timely, precision re-cutting,” explains Brad Scherer of FWWD. “Our customer inventory management system is designed around the customer’s operation and expected die life cycles, with the goal of maximising die utilisation by managing the inventory to demand. By increasing the number of re-cuts used, the customer’s new die purchases should decrease.” For high-speed multi-wire drawing appli- cations, FWWD can detail the numerous cost-efficiency benefits of its matched elongation die sets. On display on the booth will be FWWD’s complete product line, including: Wire drawing dies – single crystal • diamond, Poly-Di® polycrystalline, Dual- Draw TM and tungsten carbide Extrusion tips and dies • Shaped profile dies • Poly-Strand • TM stranding, bunching and compacting dies Enamelling dies • Di-Pro • TM diamond powder and compound Miscellaneous wear parts • Visitors can also find out more about Fort Wayne Wire Die’s full line of equipment for die maintenance, measuring and inspection. Fort WayneWire Die Inc – USA Website : www.fwwd.com GCR Eurodraw has been manufacturing brass plating lines since the early ‘70s, with continuous improvements in design and efficiency, implementing new tech- nical solutions developed by its R&D department. Significant developments include: Ultrasonic degreasing: high-frequency • waves hit the wire and cause cracking of residues adhering to the wire surface. Ultrasonic degreasing can be combined with electrolytic degreas- ing, making the system more effective. GCR Eurodraw SpA Italian Pavilion

Brass plating lines from GCR Eurodraw ▲ ▲

GCR Eurodraw has developed technology for current control with a high-precision wave slicing rectifier and no choppers. This assures transmission of much cleaner current to the wire, thus further improving the plating quality. Induction diffusion: a zinc-copper • diffusion system based on induction heating technology. Induction diffusion is offered as an alternative to Joulé effect or fluidised bed diffusion Automatic take-ups: GCR’s new • take-ups for brass-plating lines are equipped with an automatic wire accumulation system for non-stop operation of the line, and an automatic winding control system Computerised line supervision • and process analysis: a process supervision system that monitors all the parameters of a brass-plating line GCR Eurodraw will attend wire Southeast Asia 2009 with its associated company DEMWire Rolling Technology.
